What is an “Adventure Day”?
It is a one-day event whose purpose is to provide:
- A social “Outside of race series” activity for the entire MISCA organization
- Games for all ages of MISCA students that are fun and only slightly competitive.
- An opportunity to enjoy the beach and socialize with students and coaches from other teams.
- Open to coaches too, so students can participate with (or against) coaches!
What will there be to do?
The three sub-events are back-to-back, so you can do all of them:
- Morning: Adventure Challenge (2- OR 4-hour)
- After Lunch: Adventure Games
- And before you go, enjoy the beach and picnic facilities at the park
2-Hour and 4-Hour Adventure Challenge
The “Anchor” event of the MiSCA Adventure Day – This is the morning event of the day.
Required Gear List: [GOOGLE DOCS]
What is the Adventure Challenge?
Based on Adventure Racing, but the competition is fun and light-hearted. Time and points count, but no podiums, medals, or prizes. Disciplines will include:
- Mountain Biking
- Trekking (walking / running)
- Land Navigation (using a map and compass to find control points).
“2-Hour” and “4-Hour” refer to the time limit. You must cross the finish line by then.
Participation is in teams of 4 only, made up of students, students with coaches, and coaches.
Part of the “adventure” is that, prior to the day of the event, you will know little more than where and when to meet for the pre-event meeting, and the duration of the event. No markers, flags, or signs will direct you where to go during the race. You will use race instructions, maps, and a compass to determine where to go, and punch your passport to show that you were there. There WILL be one “Challenge Update” that will come out by email less than a week prior to the event with final instructions before the day of the event.
Both students and coaches may register with a complete team, request to be put on a team, or request to be put on a team with a friend.
- Register soon! Registration will be capped at forty 4-person teams total.
- Registration is required at least one week before the event.
- Navigation experience is helpful but not required
- In the last week before the event, watch your email! Further information coming!
- 2-hr Adventure Challenge:
- All team members must be entering grade 6 or higher, be a graduating senior, or have a coach on the team.
- The event is timed but non-competitive.
- 4-hr Adventure Challenge:
- All team members must be entering grade 9 or higher, be a graduating senior, or have a coach on the team.
- Semi-competitive. Does not count in MISCA points series. No medals or prizes.
Parents are encouraged to attend, but may participate in the events only if they are (Level 1 minimum) coaches (must register for the event as well).
The registration fee is $20 per student, or $10 per coach, which includes lunch.
